Becoming a Family Tradition...

It's become a new family tradition since Ella was born to attend the Dallas Arboretum every fall. We picked a great weekend! Lots of sun and just a small breeze. Ella absolutely loves running around... checking out the thousands of different pumpkins, running through the hay maze, and then sitting on a blanket relaxing. We loaded up Mimi & Pop-Pop and headed that way. So nice to go when there's not a huge crowd, which during this time of year is pure luck. Ella got to pick out some special pumpkins to take home as well. Of course, they had to be a "daddy, mommy, and baby" pumpkins. This year was nice too because we got the chance to rent a red-wagon. We all got to take turns pulling Ella around, which she wasn't running all over the place! Here are some of our favorite pics. She's already looking forward to going again next time... and keeping our new family tradition going!

Halloween Party!

Hello again, everyone. Well, time to play some blog catch-up. October was a great month for us, but as usual... LOTS going on. Between Brian's birthday, Halloween, and school parties... we were all kept very busy. Ella was very excited to attend her school's Halloween party this year. She got to wear her costume to school, trick-or-treat between all the different class rooms, see a magician act, have fun at the petting zoo, and even ride a pony! It was stormy weather all day, but it held off just long often for us to enjoy it. Our little ladybug did an awesome job... she's getting so big!
